Global Castle Age: My Farmers are Level 100

Xu Hang was transmigrated into a world where owning a castle was the trend. The lords would have a castle of their own and would use their farmers to harvest resources. They would then use these resources to create armies and wage wars or even upgrade their technologies to build cannon towers. As a lord himself, Xu Hang realized that he could upgrade his farmers. Just as the other lords were wondering how to increase their own resources, Xu Hang’s level 10 farmers could cut down a tree with a single swing and were able to clear a forest in one day. Just as the other lords were trying to add more types of soldiers into their armies so that they could stop the monster waves, Xu Hang’s level 50 farmers were already mining rare ores in the cave of otherworldly monsters. These farmers could even kill any boss-level monster in one shot. Just as the other lords were struggling to expand their castles with bricks, Xu Hang’s level 100 farmers were already upgrading his castle with reinforced concrete. When the other lords were finally ready to start their conquest, Xu Hang had already built planes and trains. “Wars? Is it even necessary? We can just farm and harvest the resources!” Xu Hang laughed.

The Preliminary Preparation of the Magic Weapon

Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Xu Hang closed the chat panel and thought of an idea in his mind.

Since he already had high mobility, what would happen if he added destructive power into the mix?

Fast attack speed and high damage.

There was only one way to achieve this and that was through using a magic weapon!

He accessed the system interface and found the magic weapons tab. However, only the magic cannon was lit up.

[ Magic Cannon: Gathers energy from the magic crystal to shoot out lasers. ]

[ Attack: 100 ]

[ Defense: 5 ] 

[ Attack Speed: 0.3 ]

[ Activation Speed: Extremely slow ]

[ Materials Required: Iron ore x100, Alloy x20, Diamond x5, Wood x100, Magic Crystal x2 ]

"Oh my god, it costs so much."

Xu Hang's heart was aching when he saw that it required two magic crystal stones to make one magic cannon.

Additionally, he could not craft it immediately even if he had the materials. Rather, the magic cannon required a certain amount of time for research and development before it could be manufactured.

"This is quite unreasonable."

Xu Hang could not help but sigh.

"Also, where can I find diamonds and alloys?"

He was completely baffled.

Xu Hang managed to find the materials' details on one of the tabs. He looked at the diamond and alloy's descriptions.

[ Diamond: A mineral that is composed of carbon elements. It is the allotrope of graphite. Diamond is the hardest substance that exists organically in nature. Graphites can be formed into artificial diamonds under high temperatures and pressure. ]

[ Diamond has a wide range of usage. It's also a type of precious gem. ]

[ Alloy: A solid product with metallic properties. It can be obtained by mixing several metals together. The metals need to be melted, cooled, and solidified. ]

Xu Hang seemed to have seen graphite somewhere before. Based on his memory, graphite was used to make pencils. It was not very interesting, so he did not learn too much about it.

An alloy was a combination of different metals. He had copper and iron ores, which were just enough to make alloys.

There was no problem in mining for graphite, but the high temperature required to form alloys and diamonds was not something that the previous kiln could accomplish.

He had to make a furnace.

[ Furnace ]

[ Materials Required: Iron ore x100, Stone x200 ]

[ Function: To heat food and smelt metal. ]

[ Build furnace? ]

[ Yes ] [ No ]

[ No ]

Instead, Xu Hang arranged for Hill to make it.

In less than an hour, Hill completed his mission. 

Then, there was a system notification.

[ System: Congratulations, you are about to enter a new era. ]

[ System: As the leader of this batch of novice castle Lords, we are very impressed by your intelligence. We hope that you can continue to develop this world! ]

[ System Reward: Magic Crystal +20, Diamond +10 ]

"A timely assistance. I didn't expect to receive such rewards for making a simple furnace. It's amazing."

The quick progression was thanks to the impending Beast Tide. It pressured people to act fast if they wanted to survive.

With the furnace, it meant that Xu Hang could process raw materials into something better and more durable. 

No matter how bad it was, an alloy weapon would still be better than a woodcutter.

Xu Hang could not wait to give the furnace a try.

[ To make alloys, please put in two different ores ]

[ Copper ore x20, Iron ore x20 ]

[ Confirm? ]

[ Yes ] [ No ]

[ Yes ] 

Soon, some alloys fell into Xu Hang's hands.

[ Alloy +5 ]

A total of 40 ores were converted into 5 alloys. It was a rather reasonable rate.

Xu Hang knew exactly which weapon he wanted to make first with the alloys. 

He accessed the system's interface and chose the alloy battle axe.

[ Alloy Battle Axe ]

[ Materials Required: Alloy x2, Wood x10 ]

[ Attack Power: +15 ]

[ Speed: +50% ]

[ High attack speed ]

[ Passive Skill: Flying axe (once) ]

Xu Hang was a little speechless. 

[ Make alloy battle axe x2? ]

[ Yes ] [ No ]

Xu Hang did not notice that Hill and Shadow's eyes were burning with passion.

Ding!

The production was completed. 

Xu Hang immediately gave the alloy battle axes to Hill and Shadow respectively.

"Go and test the power of these alloy battle axes!"

"Yes, Master!" said the both of them in unison. 

There was a hint of excitement in their tone.

'Is there something wrong with my brain? Do these farmers actually have feelings?'

Boom! 

With one stroke, a towering tree instantly collapsed.

The alloy axes were ridiculously powerful! 

If it was a stone axe, they would have needed to perform at least a dozen strikes to cut down a tree like this.

The difference was day and night.

With these axes, the rate of collecting resources would surge. 

Conveniently, Xu Hang needed a large number of resources to continue building the city wall.

Without wasting any time, Xu Hang proceeded to use the furnace to produce more alloys and then alloy battle axes. 

He gave the axes to each of the farmers.

In a blink of an eye, a part of the forest was cleared!

Xu Hang looked with his mouth agape. He was absolutely delighted.

The quicker he could gather resources, the faster he could expand his territory.

Although now he was able to obtain alloys, there was still the issue of the diamond.

A diamond was indeed required to progress his plans.

Only with the hardness of a diamond could he grind the alloy into small parts, which was needed to make the magic weapon.

Xu Hang imagined a scene where he used the magic weapon to sweep through a large number of beasts. It was rather fascinating.

War and guns were the romance of a man!

Xu Hang put the graphite ores that the farmers had just gathered into the furnace.

He used as little assistance as possible from the system because he wanted to research and have a better understanding of the materials. 

Smelting graphites at high temperatures to turn them into diamonds should be no problem.

[ Fail ]

[ Fail ]

[ Fail ]

After failing three times in a row, Xu Hang was a little dumbfounded.

Diamonds were really hard to obtain. No wonder they were so expensive back in the real world.

Since it had come to this, Xu Hang decided to use the diamond given by the system first.

He opened his inventory and took out two diamonds.

"Wow, are diamonds really so big?"

Xu Hang was stunned.

"If I bring this diamond back to Earth, everyone would fight for it!"

However, he was still in the early stages. Diamonds were precious for now but down the road, they would only be ordinary items.

Xu Hang thought about it and continued to craft the materials without any hesitation.
